Zathoth Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Yes, but polar winds will freeze an exposed zombie in seconds, rendering it harmless. Plus the chances of a zombie randomly wandering that far north or south are so small that it can be considered impossible. Sure, the environment would be a threat, but it would be your only threat. I didnt think that far! Still, snow can be worse than zombies, you cant kill snow. 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 I didnt think that far! Still, snow can be worse than zombies, you cant kill snow. No, but you can shield against it. You could even conceivably adapt a research base as a compound, provided you had a steady source of heat and water purification. 1

Of course you could prepare this now in case it happens. I should sleep... night people!
DreamEternal Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) No, but you can shield against it. You could even conceivably adapt a research base as a compound, provided you had a steady source of heat and water purification.You can shield against zombies. They are terribly dumb, and not that resistent even if they are very pain torerant. Actualy, being unable to feel pain makes it even more likely that they will kill or maim themselves by accident.Any building that can't be teared down by hands(dumb, sickly and tired zombie hands) can serve as a fortification, and spears and traps at chokepoints will make any horde that tries to invade far deader. Improvised shields and turtle formations can defend big attack groups if the zombies decide to wait around the base. Killing most of the zombies in an area wouldn't be too hard, and after that it would be possible to contact other survivors and secure an large enough area to build a self-sufficient village, if you got the correct supplies.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Minor pet peeve: when people hand me something to throw away in the garbage can by my desk and say "I'll let you keep this." Why would I want to keep your used coffee cup? You're not "letting" me do anything, unless you're so amazing that handling a paper cup containing cold coffee and small amounts of your DNA counts as a privilege. Also, there's a garbage can right around the corner. You don't have to "let" me dispose of your trash. .... I think all the cough drops I've had to take have made me grouchy. 3
Haelbarde he/him Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 This talk of Zombies and snow makes me think of things like Dead of Winter...
Mistrunner Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) There was a winter door decorating contest at my middle school, 7th grade. The artistic ones of the class basically had it handled, so for a double period of English when they were designing and creating it my friends and I discussed our plan for ye zombie apocalypse. We were quite thorough. I need a new one now that I'm in a different state. Edited October 16, 2015 by Mistrunner 1

Mistrunner Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 How is it that I can spend forty-five minutes organizing my pennies by shininess and the rest of my coins by age (all just to be dumped back into a piggy bank) but I can spend all day trying to do a very important English assignment for a large grade and it never gets done? BECAUSE THE PENNIES MUST BE ORGANIZED, WHO CARES ABOUT MY FUTURE 1

BECAUSE THE PENNIES MUST BE ORGANIZED, WHO CARES ABOUT MY FUTURE This seems more like your school's problem. If organizing pennies is more interesting than an English assignment, then the assignment must be criminally boring. 1

Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 I do have a plan for the apocalypse. It involves rallying international forces against the zombies and leading the world against them in a triumphant battle. All I really care about is if I have a Sanderson book that survives. 2

Twi, you are missing the point. They obviously want you to clone them. Im pretty sure you can claim that even in court. They obviously mean their DNA by "this", not the coffee cup. You could even sell it to criminal organizations so they have a storage of DNA in case they need to set someone up for a crime they committed. If any of that sounds to immoral to you at least do the following and give it away as a present http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/creepy-or-cool-portraits-derived-from-the-dna-in-hair-and-gum-found-in-public-places-50266864/?no-ist 2
